Dr.
Hassan Rouhani said on Thursday (June 25), at the official opening ceremony of
two projects and the start of the construction of a huge national project of the
Goreh-Jask oil pipeline, that according to the Minister of Petroleum, 17 important
projects in the petrochemical industry would come on stream by the end of the current
calendar year, which began on March 20.
“With
the opening of these projects, the country's petrochemical production revenue will
double to reach $25 billion from currently $12b,” he said.
Rouhani
also said that Jask would become an important hub for Iran's oil exports,
adding that Iran’s ability to build such a huge pipeline project from Goreh in Bushehr
province to Jask in Hormozgan province indicates the capability of the Iranian
nation, researchers and craftsmen.
The
President considered the implementation and construction of
one-thousand-kilometer pipelines as a great achievement of Iranian
manufacturers, and added: "Experts of Iranian companies, following the
sanctions by the enemies, have taken on production of pipeline sheets for the
purposes of the project and successfully completed it."
Dr.
Rouhani expressed optimism that with the completion of this project by next March,
one million barrels of Iranian oil would be exported from Jask on a daily basis.
